It gives current and emerging leaders a chance to experience US political, economic, social, and cultural life through tailored exchanges that match their fields and US public diplomacy goals. Each year, up to 5,000 emerging professionals from around the world travel to the United States for programmes of up to three weeks. The programme is by nomination from staff at US embassies. The IVLP aims to build lasting links between global professionals and their American peers. It also gives foreign opinion leaders first-hand insight into US society, culture, and politics. The IVLP operates through a cooperative agreement with National Program Agencies and Global Ties US, a network in 45 states that arranges participant itineraries.
